Puerto Princesa is the first place to go on Palawan. Interact with crocodiles and lazily watch butterflies fly by as you buy any needed supplies for your trip.

Take a ferry to Coron to check out underwater wrecks.

2. Malapascua

If your personal tastes are for luxury, head to the outskirts of the island and find excellent hospitality at a number of five-star resorts. If you prefer an immersive experience, go inland to the bungalows and restaurants attended by locals. The number one thing to do in Malapascua is to book a dive to view the incredible thresher sharks.

3. Northern Luzon

Baguio is the place to begin. Known for its medical facilities, stock up on any necessary supplies before exploring the rest of the island. If you’re in the mood for sightseeing, head to Bontoc by bus and check out the famous rice terraces of northern Luzon.
